Lanyards and Badges
The lanyards, and badge cases are once again being sponsored, and will be hand carried into Khartoum by Nishal. This year, the badge cases are size A6, ie. 105mm × 148mm. Badges will be double-printed; ie. the participant and sponsor details will appear on both the front and the back of the badge. The badge will need to be cut (likely horizontally), and then folded once vertically. Two badges should be produced per single A4 sheet.
More details on the badges and lanyards are on the badges and lanyards design page.
